Im guessing about 2K to 2500, a grand for the rotating assembly and another for the block, as long as things are in good working order

As a buyer I wouldn't go over over a bone (1000) unless the seller had in writing from an engine assembly/machine shop business that the block and reciprocating assembly were rebuildable.
I'm not doubting the seller but would want to limit my losses if it wasn't.
I've seen to many motorcycle engines that the seller sold in confidence that it was salvageable but never had an inspection by a professional.
If it checked out I'd top out @ 2500 max depending on how desperately I needed it, preferably 1500 to 2k.
Hope this helps you.
See ya,

Good luck with $1000 on a 502 shortblock .I agree it has to be rebuildable.. Experienced buyer should be able to check for himself if disassembled....502's are not at this point in time plentiful
